I booked the Loft room at Gristmill Square for my boyfriend's birthday weekend. We visited the Jefferson Pools (definitely recommend) then came to check in at the B&B. The room was clean and well maintained. We had a cute little bathroom and a patio off the room too. I'm super picky about hotel cleanliness and I had ZERO complaints.
The staff are SO friendly, when we left to explore we asked the woman at the desk if there was somewhere nearby we could get coffee. She misunderstood at first that we were just asking for directions and offered to jump up and go make us some coffee! So nice and welcoming.
We had a few drinks at the pub before having dinner at Waterwheel. The food was great, and the service was fabulous. We split a bottle of wine with dinner and hung out for awhile after we were done eating. We never felt rushed or hurried, the staff were really great.
In the morning we got our breakfast delivered to the room (it's included in the price of your stay). It was a cute basket of coffee, juice, pastries (berry scones and some spinach and cheese puff pastries which were amazing) and fruit.
I originally found Gristmill online because I was looking to make a reservation at Homestead before I realized how insanely expensive that place is. Gristmill was only $120/night and included breakfast. It was also quieter, more welcoming, and so lovely. We went to check out Homestead and it was insanely busy and just did not look relaxing at all.
The area has a lot to offer, we went hiking in GW national park on Sunday and had a great time. There's also a few bars/taverns near Homestead that we grabbed a drink at during the day. If you come in the summer there's a ton more to do than in February.
We both agreed we would DEFINITELY come back here.

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/615,798, filed Nov. 21, 1990.
The invention is directed to pharmaceuticals which are useful in diseases characterized by unwanted collagenase activity. More specifically, the invention concerns substituted or unsubstituted hydroxamates which include fused or conjugated bicycloaryl substituents.
There are a number of enzymes which effect the breakdown of structural proteins and which are structurally related metalloproteases. These include human skin fibroblast collagenase, human skin fibroblast gelatinase, human sputum collagenase and gelatinase, and human stromelysin. These are zinc-containing metalloprotease enzymes, as are the angiotensin-converting enzymes and the enkephalinases.
Collagenase and related enzymes are important in mediating the symptomology of a number of diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (Mullins, D. E., et al., Biochim Biophys Acta (1983) 695:117-214); the metastasis of tumor cells (ibid , Broadhurst, M. J., et al., EP application 276436 (1987), Reich, R., et al., Cancer Res (1988) 48:3307-3312); and various ulcerated conditions. Ulcerative conditions can result in the cornea as the result of alkali burns or as a result of infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acanthamoeba, Herpes simplex and vaccinia viruses. Other conditions characterized by unwanted matrix metalloprotease activity include periodontal disease, epidermolysis bullosa and scleritis.
In view of the involvement of collagenase in a number of disease conditions, attempts have been made to prepare inhibitors to this enzyme. A number of such inhibitors are disclosed in EP applications 126,974 (published 1984) and 159,396 (published 1985) assigned to G. D. Searle. These inhibitors are secondary amines which contain oxo substituents at the 2-position in both substituents bonded to the amino nitrogen.
More closely related to the compounds of the present invention are those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,599,361 and 4,743,587, also assigned to G. D. Searle. These compounds are hydroxylamine dipeptide derivatives which contain, as a part of the compound, a tyrosine or derivatized tyrosine residue or certain analogs thereof.
Other compounds that contain sulfhydryl moieties as well as residues of aromatic amino acids such as phenylalanine and tryptophan are disclosed in PCT application WO88/06890. Some of these compounds also contain i-butyl side chains.
Inhibitors have also been disclosed for the related protease, thermolysin. These include hydroxamic peptide derivatives described by Nishino, N., et al., Biochemistry (1979) 8:4340-4347; Nishino, N., et al., Biochemistry (1978) 17:2846-2850. Tryptophan is also known to be therapeutic in various conditions, some of which may involve collagenase (see, for example, JP 57/058626; U.S. Pat. No. 4,698,342; 4,291,048). Also, inhibitors of bacterial collagenases have been disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,558,034.
It has now been found that the compounds described below have superior inhibiting activity with respect to matrix metalloproteases. The invention compounds add to the repertoire of agents available for the treatment of conditions and diseases which are characterized by unwanted activity by the class of proteins which destroy structural proteins and designated "matrix metalloprotease" herein.
The invention provides new compounds which are useful as inhibitors of matrix metalloproteases and which are effective in treating conditions characterized by excess activity of these enzymes. In addition, these compounds can be used to purify matrix metalloproteases and to detect increased levels of matrix metalloproteases in vivo. The compounds take advantage of the incorporation of tryptophan or other fused or conjugated bicycloaromatic amino acid residues into a substituted or unsubstituted hydroxamate-derivatized matrix metalloprotease inhibitor.
Accordingly, in one aspect, the invention is directed to compounds of the formula: ##STR2## wherein each R1 is independently H or alkyl (1-8C) and R2 is alkyl (1-8C) or wherein the proximal R1 and R2 taken together are --(CH2)p -- wherein p=3-5;
R3 is H or alkyl (1-4C);
R4 is fused or conjugated unsubstituted or substituted bicycloaryl methylene;
n is 0, 1 or 2;
m is 0 or 1; and
X is OR5 or NHR5, wherein R5 is H or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl (1-12C), aryl (6-12C), aryl alkyl (6-16C); or
X is an amino acid residue or amide thereof; or
X is the residue of a cyclic amine or heterocyclic amine; and
R6 is H or lower alkyl (1-4C) and R7 is H, lower alkyl (1-4C) or an acyl group.
Also included within the scope of the invention are compounds wherein the --CONR3 -- amide bond shown is replaced by a modified isosteric bond, such as --CH2 NR3 --, --CH2 CHR3 --, --CH═CR3 --, --COCHR3 --, --CHOHCHR3 --, --NR3 CO--, --CF═CR3 --, and the like.
These compounds have the ability to inhibit at least one mammalian matrix metalloprotease. Accordingly, in other aspects, the invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of formula 1 or 2, to methods of treating diseases characterized by matrix metalloprotease activity using these compounds or the pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Matrix metalloproteases at a particularly undesired location can be targeted by conjugating the compounds of the invention to a targeting ligand specific for a marker at that location such as an antibody or fragment thereof or a receptor ligand.
The invention is also directed to various other processes which take advantage of the unique properties of these compounds. Thus, in another aspect, the invention is directed to the compounds of formulas 1 or 2 conjugated to solid supports These conjugates can be used as affinity reagents for the purification of a desired matrix metalloprotease.
In another aspect, the invention is directed to the compounds of formula 1 or 2 conjugated to label. As the compounds of the invention selectively bind to at least one matrix metalloprotease, the label can be used to detect the presence of unusually large amounts of matrix metalloprotease in vivo or in vitro cell culture.
In addition, the compounds of formula 1 or 2 can be conjugated to carriers which permit the use of these compounds in immunization protocols to prepare antibodies specifically immunoreactive with the compounds of the invention. These antibodies are then useful both in therapy and in monitoring the dosage of the inhibitors.
In still another aspect, the invention is directed to methods to prepare the compounds of formulas 1 and 2 and to novel intermediates in their preparation.
FIG. 1 is a graph which shows the effect of the inhibitor of the invention on corneal burns using a clinical scoring method.
FIG. 2 shows the corresponding effect of the compound of the invention on corneal burns using a perforation criterion.
The invention compounds are inhibitors of mammalian matrix metalloproteases. As used herein, "mammalian matrix metalloprotease" means any enzyme found in mammalian sources which is capable of catalyzing the breakdown of collagen, gelatin or proteoglycan under suitable assay conditions. Appropriate assay conditions can be found, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,743,587, which references the procedure of Cawston, et al., Anal Biochem (1979) 99:340-345, use of a synthetic substrate is described by Weingarten, H., et al., Biochem Biophy Res Comm (1984) 139:1184-1187 Any standard method for analyzing the breakdown of these structural proteins can, of course, be used The matrix metalloprotease enzymes referred to in the herein invention are all zinc-containing proteases which are similar in structure to, for example, human stromelysin or skin fibroblast collagenase.
The ability of candidate compounds to inhibit matrix metalloprotease activity can, of course, be tested in the assays described above. Isolated matrix metalloprotease enzymes can be used to confirm the inhibiting activity of the invention compounds, or crude extracts which contain the range of enzymes capable of tissue breakdown can be used.
The invention compounds can be considered to comprise two components linked by an amide or modified amide bond. One component is substituted or unsubstituted hydroxamate derivative of a dicarboxylic acid backbone, wherein the alternate carboxyl group forms the amide or modified bond with an amino acid or analog thereof. The amino acid or analog is the residue of an amino acid or analog which contains a fused or conjugated bicycloaromatic system, such as a tryptophan residue or a naphthylalanyl residue. This residue can also be amidated or can be extended by one or two additional amino acid residues Thus, the compounds of the invention can be prepared by reaction of the corresponding underivatized compounds which are carboxylic acids or esters of the dicarboxylic residue with suitable reagents.
The dicarboxylic acid residue in formula 1 contains at least one and, in some instances, two or more chiral centers. Either configuration at any chiral center is included within the invention, as are mixtures of compounds containing the two possible configurations at each point of chirality However, it is generally found that a particular configuration at each of these chiral centers is preferred. Similarly, in the compounds of formula 2, the double bond can be either the cis or trans configuration. In this case, also, one or the other configuration for a particular set of embodiments will be preferred. The carbon to which R4 is bound is chiral in both formulas. While both configurations are included in the invention, that corresponding to an L-amino acid is preferred.
The amide bond shown as --CONR3 -- in the compounds of formulas 1 and 2 may be in "modified isosteric" form. Compounds of the invention where this is the case are preferred when oral administration is desirable. By "modified isosteric form" is meant that in lieu of the functionality --CONR3 --, the compound has instead a moiety such as those selected from the group consisting of --CH2 NR3 --, --CH--NR3, --COCHR3 --, --CH(OH)NR3, --CH(OH)CHR3 --, --CSCHR3 --, --CH=CR3 --, CF═CR3 and --NR3 CO--.
As used herein, "alkyl" has its conventional meaning as a straight chain, branched chain or cyclic saturated hydrocarbyl residue such as methyl, ethyl, isobutyl, cyclohexyl, t-butyl or the like. The alkyl substituents of the invention are of the number of carbons noted which may be substituted with 1 or 2 substituents. Substituents are generally those which do not interfere with the activity of the compound, including hydroxyl, "CBZ," amino, and the like. Aryl refers to aromatic ring systems such as phenyl, naphthyl, pyridyl, quinolyl, indolyl, and the like; aryl alkyl refers to aryl residues linked to the position indicated through an alkyl residue. In all cases the aryl portion may be substituted or unsubstituted. "Acyl" refers to a substituent of the formula RCO- wherein R is alkyl or arylalkyl as above-defined The number of carbons in the acyl group is generally 1-15; however as the acyl substitute is readily hydroxylized in vivo the nature of the group is relatively unimportant. "Cyclic amines" refer to those amines where the nitrogen is part of a heterocyclic ring, such as piperidine, "heterocyclic amines" refer to such heterocycles which contain an additional heteroatom, such as morpholine.
In the compounds of formula 1, preferred embodiments for R1 and R2 include those wherein each R1 is H or Me and R2 is alkyl of 3-8C, especially isobutyl, 2-methyl butyl, or isopropyl. Especially preferred is isobutyl. Preferred also are those compounds of formula 1 or 2 wherein n=1 or m=1.
In both formula i and 2 compounds, preferred embodiments of R3 are H and methyl, especially H.
R4 is a fused or conjugated bicyclo aromatic system linked through a methylene group to the molecule. By "fused or conjugated bicyclo aromatic system" is meant a two-ringed system with aromatic character which may, further, contain one or more heteroatoms such as S, N, or O. When a heteroatom such as N is included, the system as it forms a part of formula (1) or (2), may contain an acyl protecting group (1-5C) attached to the nitrogen. Representative bicyclo fused aromatic systems include naphthyl, indolyl, quinolinyl, and isoquinolinyl. Representative conjugated systems include biphenyl, 4-phenylpyrimidyl, 3-phenylpyridyl and the like. In all cases, any available position of the fused or conjugated bicyclic system can be used for attachment through the methylene. The fused or conjugated aromatic system may further be substituted by 1 -2 alkyl (1-4C) residues and/or hydroxy or any ring nitrogens may be acylated Preferred acylation is acetylation.
Preferred embodiments of R4 include 1 -(2-methyl naphthyl)methylene; I-quinolyl methylene; 1 -naphthyl methylene; 2-naphthyl methylene; 1-isoquinolyl methylene; 3-isoquinolyl methylene; 3-thionaphthenyl methylene; 3-cumaronyl methylene; 3-(5-methylindolyl)methylene; 3-(5-hydroxyindolyl)methylene; 3-(2-hydroxyindolyl)methylene; biphenyl methylene; and 4-phenylpyrimidyl methylene; and the substituted forms thereof
Many of these substituents as part of an amino acid residue are described in Greenstein and Winitz, "Chemistry of the Amino Acids" (1961) 3:2731-2741 (John Wiley & Sons, N.Y.).
A particularly preferred embodiment of R4 is 3-indolyl methylene or its N-acylated derivative--i.e., that embodiment wherein the "C-terminal" amino acid is a tryptophan residue or a protected form thereof. A preferred configuration at the carbon to which R4 is bound is that corresponding to L-tryptophan.
Preferred embodiments of X are those of the formula NHR5 wherein R5 is H, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl (1-12C) or aryl alkyl (6-12C). particularly preferred substitutions on R5 are a hydroxyl group, or a phenylmethoxycarbamyl (CBZ) residue. In addition, the compound may be extended by embodiments wherein X is an additional amino acid residue, particularly a glycyl residue, which may also be amidated as described.
As set forth in the Background section above, a number of diseases are known to be mediated by excess or undesired matrix-destroying metalloprotease activity These include tumor metastasis, rheumatoid arthritis, skin inflammation, ulcerations, particularly of the cornea, reaction to infection, and the like. Thus, the compounds of the invention are useful in therapy with regard to conditions involving this unwanted activity.
The invention compounds can therefore be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions for use in treatment or prophylaxis of these conditions. Standard pharmaceutical formulation techniques are used, such as those disclosed in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., latest edition.
For indications to be treated systemically, it is preferred that the compounds be injected. These conditions include rheumatoid arthritis and tumor metastasis. The compounds can be formulated for injection using excipients conventional for such purpose such as physiological saline, Hank's solution, Ringer's solution, and the like. Injection can be intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal or subcutaneous. Dosage levels are of the order of 0.1 μg/kg of subject to 1 mg/kg of subject, depending, of course, on the nature of the condition, the nature of the subject, the particular embodiment of the invention compounds chosen, and the nature of the formulation and route of administration.
In addition to administration by injection, the compounds of the invention can also be formulated into compositions for transdermal or transmucosal delivery by including agents which effect penetration of these tissues, such as bile salts, fusidic acid derivatives, cholic acid, and the like. The invention compounds can also be used in liposome-based delivery systems and in formulations for topical and oral administration depending on the nature of the condition to be treated. Oral administration is especially advantageous for those compounds wherein the moiety --CONR3 -- is in a modified isosteric form. These compounds resist the hydrolytic action of the digestive tract Oral formulations include syrups, tablets, capsules, and the like, or the compound may be administered in food or juice.
The inhibitors of the invention can be targeted to specific locations where the matrix metalloprotease is accumulated by using targeting ligands. For example, to focus the inhibitors to matrix metalloprotease contained in a tumor, the inhibitor is conjugated to an antibody or fragment thereof which is immunoreactive with a tumor marker as is generally understood in the preparation of immunotoxins in general The targeting ligand can also be a ligand suitable for a receptor which is present on the tumor. Any targeting ligand which specifically reacts with a marker for the intended target tissue can be used. Methods for coupling the invention compound to the targeting ligand are well known and are similar to those described below for coupling to carrier. The conjugates are formulated and administered as described above.
For localized conditions, topical administration is preferred. For example, to treat ulcerated cornea, direct application to the affected eye may employ a formulation as eyedrops or aerosol. For corneal treatment, the compounds of the invention can also be formulated as gels or ointments, or can be incorporated into collagen or a hydrophilic polymer shield. The materials can also be inserted as a contact lens or reservoir or as a subconjunctival formulation. For treatment of skin inflammation, the compound is applied locally and topically, in a gel, paste, salve or ointment. The mode of treatment thus reflects the nature of the condition and suitable formulations for any selected route are available in the art.
Particular topical conditions that are susceptible to treatment using the compounds of the invention include stomach ulcers, superficial wounds of any type, epidermolysis bullosa, various forms of skin cancer, and pemphigus. It is well known that collagenase is involved in the progress of stomach ulcers, as described by Hasabe, T., et al., J Exp Clin Med (1987) 12:181-190; Ozaki, I., et al., Scand J Gastroenterol Suppl (Norway) (1989) 16:138-141. Collagenase is also found in marginal wound tissue as reviewed by Mullins, D. E., et al., Biochim Biophys Acta (1983) 695:177-214, and patients showing impaired wound healing are known to have increased collagenase activity in the wound tissue For example, Hennesey, P. J., et al., J Pediat Surg (1990) 25:75-78, showed this to be the case in diabetes; Sank, A., et al., Surgery (1989) 106:114-1148, demonstrated this enhanced collagenase activity in paraplegia, chronic renal failure, and Cushings disease Thus, the collagenase inhibitors of the invention are useful in any ulcerative skin condition, including, for example, decubitus ulcers, or other conditions where wound healing is slow, other conditions susceptible to treatment by the compounds of the invention include corneal or scleral melting associated with keratomalacia, scleromalacia perforans and connective tissue diseases.
This is also the case with respect to wounds inflicted in the course of medical treatment It has been demonstrated that collagenase inhibitors enhance the strength of suture lines and suture holding capacity in intestinal anastomoses in rats (Hogstrom, H., et al., Res Exp Med (1985) 185:451-455. Other topical conditions responsive to the collagenase inhibitors of the invention include epidermolysis bullosa where increased collagenase activity has been demonstrated (Perez-Tamayo, R., Am J Path (1978) 92:509-566, pp. 539-541). It is also known that collagenase activity is increased in the stroma surrounding basal cell carcinoma and throughout tumor stromas in ulcerated basal cell carcinoma (Childer, S., J. W., et al., J Am Acad Dermatol (1987) 17:1025-1032).
Further, the matrix metalloprotease inhibitors of the invention are useful in the treatment of septic shock and in the treatment of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) The role of plasma proteases in septic shock has been shown by Colman, R. C., New Eng J Med (1989) 320:1207-1210, and the participation of neutrophil proteases in both septic shock and ARDS has been shown by Idell, S., et al., Ann Res Respir Dis (1985) 132:1098-1105. In the case of these conditions, the compounds of the invention protect the connective tissue directly from digestion by matrix metalloproteases as well as prevent the degradation of collagen and therefore prevention of known chemotaxis of neutrophils toward collagen fragments (Werb, Z., in "Textbook of Rheumatology," Kelley, W. N., et al., eds. (1989) W. B. Saunders, philadelphia, 3rd ed., pp. 300-320). The compounds of the invention also prevent the inactivation of plasma protease inhibitors by matrix metalloproteases (Werb, Z. supra).
In all of the foregoing, of course, the compounds of the invention can be administered alone or as mixtures, and the compositions may further include additional drugs or excipients as appropriate for the indication.
Some of the compounds of the invention also inhibit bacterial metalloproteases although generally at a lower level than that exhibited with respect to mammalian metalloproteases. Some bacterial metalloproteases seem to be less dependent on the stereochemistry of the inhibitor, whereas substantial differences are found between diastereomers in their ability to inactivate the mammalian proteases. Thus, this pattern of activity can be used to distinguish between the mammalian and bacterial enzymes.
The invention compounds can also be utilized in immunization protocols to obtain antisera immunospecific for the invention compounds As the invention compounds are relatively small haptens, they are advantageously coupled to antigenically neutral carriers such as the conventionally used keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) or serum albumin carriers. Coupling to carrier can be done by methods generally known in the art; the --COX functionality of the invention compounds offers a particularly convenient site for application of these techniques For example, the COX residue can be reduced to an aldehyde and coupled to carrier through reaction with sidechain amino groups in protein-based carriers, optionally followed by reduction of imino linkage formed. The COX residue wherein X═OH can also be reacted with sidechain amino groups using condensing agents such as dicyclohexyl carbodiimide or other carbodiimide dehydrating agents. Linker compounds can also be used to effect the coupling; both homobifunctional and heterobifunctional linkers are available from Pierce Chemical Company, Rockford, Ill. Compounds 31-34 described in the examples below are designed to be coupled to antigenically neutral carriers through their C-terminal carboxyl groups (or amino groups in compound 32) using appropriate coupling agents.
The resulting immunogenic complex can then be injected into suitable mammalian subjects such as mice, rabbits, and the like. Suitable protocols involve repeated injection of the immunogen in the presence of adjuvants according to a schedule which boosts production of antibodies in the serum. The titers of the immune serum can readily be measured using immunoassay procedures, now standard in the art, employing the invention compounds as antigens.
The antisera obtained can be used directly or monoclonal antibodies may be obtained by harvesting the peripheral blood lymphocytes or the spleen of the immunized animal and immortalizing the antibody-producing cells, followed by identifying the suitable antibody producers using standard immunoassay techniques.
The polyclonal or monoclonal preparations are then useful in monitoring therapy or prophylaxis regimens involving the compounds of the invention. Suitable samples such as those derived from blood, serum, urine, or saliva can be tested for the presence of the administered inhibitor at various times during the treatment protocol using standard immunoassay techniques which employ the antibody preparations of the invention.
The invention compounds can also be coupled to labels such as scintigraphic labels, e.g., technetium 99 or I-131, using standard coupling methods. The labeled compounds are administered to subjects to determine the locations of excess amounts of one or more matrix metalloproteases in vivo. The ability of the inhibitors to selectively bind matrix metalloprotease is thus taken advantage of to map the distribution of these enzymes in situ. The techniques can also, of course, be employed in histological procedures and the labeled invention compounds can be used in competitive immunoassays.
The invention compounds can be coupled to solid supports, such as separation membranes, chromatographic supports such as agarose, sepharose, polyacrylamide, and the like, or to microtiter plates to obtain affinity supports useful in purification of various mammalian matrix metalloproteases. The selective binding of the matrix metalloproteases to the inhibitor ligand permits the adsorption of the desired enzyme and its subsequent elution using, for example, altered ionic strength and/or pH conditions.
In general, the invention compounds that are hydroxamates are obtained by converting a carboxylic acid or ester precursor of the formulas ##STR3## wherein R is H or alkyl (1 -6C) to the corresponding hydroxamates by treating these compounds or their activated forms with hydroxylamine under conditions which effect the conversion.
With respect to starting materials, the components forming the --NR3 --CHR4 COX moiety are readily available in the case of tryptophan and its analogs as esters or amides. As set forth above, many analogous fused bicyclo aromatic amino acids are described by Greenstein and Winitz (supra). Amino acids corresponding to those wherein R4 is 1-(2-methyl naphthyl)methylene; 1-quinolyl-methylene; 1 -naphthyl methylene; 1 -isoquinolyl methylene; and 3-isoquinolyl methylene can be prepared from the bicyclo aromatic methylene halides using the acetamido malonic ester synthesis of amino acids, as is well understood in the art The methylene halides themselves can be prepared from their corresponding carboxylic acids by reduction with lithium aluminum hydride and bromination of the resulting alcohol with thionyl bromide.
In general, the hydroxylamine reagent is formed in situ by mixing the hydroxylamine hydrochloride salt with an excess of KOH in methanol and removing the precipitated potassium chloride by filtration. The filtrate is then stirred with the precursor activated carboxylic acid or ester of formula 3 or 4 for several hours at room temperature, and the mixture is then evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure The residue is acidified, then extracted with a suitable organic solvent such as ethyl acetate, the extract washed with aqueous potassium bisulfate and salt, and then dried with a solid drying agent such as anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The extract is then again evaporated to dryness and crystallized.
The substituted forms of the hydroxamate which include --NHOR7 are synthesized in an analogous manner but substituting H2 NOR7, wherein R7 is lower alkyl or acyl (1-4C) for hydroxylamine per se. The resulting 0-alkyl or acyl hydroxamate can then be further alkylated, if desired, to obtain the R7 ONR6 -- derivative of the carboxylic acid. Similarly, HNR60 H may be reacted with the carboxylic acid to obtain the HONR6 -- derivative. HNCH3 OH and H2 NOCH3 are commercially available.
To prepare the starting materials of formulas 3 and 4, the monoesterified carboxylic acid of the formula ##STR4## is reacted with the acid of the formula
wherein X is other than OH under conditions wherein the condensation to form the amide bond occurs. Such conditions typically comprise mixture of the two components in a nonaqueous anhydrous polar aprotic solvent in the presence of base and a condensing agent such as a carbodiimide. Thus, the formation of the amide linkage can be catalyzed in the presence of standard dehydration agents such as the carbodiimides, for example dicyclohexyl carbodiimide, or N, N-carbonyl diimidazole. The product is then recovered as a mixture of diastereomers of formula 3 or 4. This mixture is preferably used for the conversion to the hydroxamate and one of the resulting diastereomers is crystallized directly from the product mixture. Alternatively, the diastereomers are separated by flash chromatography before conversion to the hydroxamate and recovered separately. This process is less preferred as compared to the process wherein separation of the diastereomers is reserved until the final product is obtained.
In the notation used in the examples, the "A" isomer is defined as that which migrates faster on TLC; the "B" isomer as that which migrates more slowly. When the "L" form of tryptophan or other amino acid containing a fused bicycloaromatic ring system is used as the residue, and R1 is H, in general, the "A" form is that which contains the corresponding configuration at the carbon containing the R2 substituent (providing that is the only other center of asymmetry) in the final hydroxamate product However, in Example 2, below, where D-tryptophan is included in the composition, the "B" isomer contains what would correspond to an "L" configuration at the carbon containing R2 in the compounds of formula 1.
When R6 and/or R7 = alkyl, the corresponding O-or N-alkyl hydroxylamine is reacted with the methyl ester 4A as performed for unsubstituted hydroxylamine in Example 1 Alternatively, the methyl ester 4A can be saponified to its corresponding carboxylic acid and activated with oxalyl chloride or other condensing agent. The alkyl hydroxylamine can then be reacted with the activated carboxylic acid to give the O- or N-substituted hydroxamic acid. O- and N-methylhydroxylamine can be purchased from the Aldrich Chemical Company.
Other N-alkyl hydroxylamines can be synthesized by conversion of aliphatic aldehydes to their oximes, followed by reduction to the N-alkyl hydroxylamine with borane-pyridine complex in the presence of 6N HCl (Kawase, M. and Kikugawa, Y. J., Chem Soc, Perkin Trans (1979) 1:643. Other O-alkyl hydroxylamines can be synthesized by the general methods given by Roberts, J. S., "Derivatives of Hydroxylamine," Chapter 6.4 in Barton, D., et al., eds., Comprehensive Organic Chemistry (1979) 2:187-188 (Pergamon Press, Oxford). The two general methods employed are displacement by R7 O- of a leaving group from hydroxylamine sulfonic acid or chloramine, and O-alkylation of a hydroxamic acid with R7 -X followed by hydrolysis:
R7 O- +NH2 OSO3 H (or NH2 Cl)→NH2 OR7
or ##STR5##
For R7 = acyl, a hydroxamic acid of this invention can be acylated with an acid chloride, anhydride, or other acylating agent to give the compounds of this class (see Examples 19 and 20).
In some cases the derivatized maleic and succinic acid residues required for synthesis of the invention compounds are commercially available. If not, these can readily be prepared, in embodiments wherein R1 is H or alkyl (1-8C) by reaction of a 2-oxocarboxylic ester of the formula R2 COCOOR' in a Wittig reaction with an alkyl triphenylphosphoranylidene acetate or α-triphenylphosphoranylidene alkanoate. The methyl acetate or alkanoate is preferred, but any suitable ester can be employed. This reaction is conducted in a nonaqueous, nonpolar solvent usually at room temperature. The resultant compound is of the formula ROOCCR1═CR2 COOR', wherein R and R' are residues of esterifying alkyl or arylalkyl alcohols.
If the compounds of formula 4 are desired, this product is condensed with the appropriate tryptophan or analogous derivative; if the compounds of formula 3 are desired, the intermediate is reduced using hydrogen with a suitable catalyst. The sequence of reactions to obtain those embodiments wherein R1 is H or alkyl, n is 1 and m is O, and R2 is alkyl are shown in Reaction Scheme 1. ##STR6##
For those embodiments wherein R1 and R2 taken together are (CH2)p, the compounds of the invention are prepared analogously to the manner set forth in Reaction Scheme 1, except that the intermediate of the formula ROOCCHR1 CHR2 COOH is prepared from the corresponding 1,2-cycloalkane dicarboxylic acid--i.e., 1,2-cyclopentane dicarboxylic acid anhydride; 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic anhydride or 1,2-cycloheptane dicarboxylic anhydride.

The following examples are intended to illustrate but not to limit the invention.
In the examples below, TLC solvent systems are as follows: (A) ethyl acetate/methanol (95:5); (B) ethyl acetate/methanol (25:5); (C) ethyl acetate; (D) ethyl acetate/methanol (30:5); (E) ethyl acetate/hexane (1:1); (F) chloroform/methanol/acetic acid (30:6:2); (G) chloroform/methanol/acetic acid (85:10:1).
A suspension of 5 g (0.033 mol) of the sodium salt of 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoic acid and 5.65 g (0.033 mol) of benzyl bromide in 10 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide was stirred for 4 days at room temperature. After evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure the residue was diluted to 100 ml with hexane and washed with water (3�20 ml) and saturated sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of solvent gave 6.4 g (88% yield) of the benzyl ester of 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoic acid (1) as a colorless oil.

The residue was extracted with hexane (3 x 50 mL). The hexane solution was washed with 10% sodium bicarbonate (2�30 mL), water and saturated sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate.

To a mixture of 0.85 g (4.5 mmol) of (3) and 0.57 g (4.5 mmol) of oxalyl chloride in 10 mL of dry methylene chloride 0 i mL of anhydrous dimethylformamide was added. After stirring for I hr at room temperature the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was diluted to 5 mL with anhydrous dimethylformamide and 1.06 g (4.1 mmol) of the hydrochloride salt of L-tryptophan methylamide (Kortylewicz and Galardy, J Med Chem (1990) 33:263-273) was added followed by addition of 1.3 mL (9.3 mmol) of triethylamine at -10� C. This was stirred for 7 hr at room temperature and evaporated to dryness at room temperature under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted to 150 mL with ethyl acetate and washed with water (2�15 mL), 10% potassium bisulfate (5�20 mL), 10% sodium bicarbonate (2�20 mL), saturated sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then evaporated to give 1.6 g (83% yield) of N-[D,L-2-isobutyl-3-(methoxycarbonyl)propanoyl]-L-tryptophan methylamide 4 as a mixture of diastereomers, 4A and 4B.

A warm mixture of 0.22 g (3.96 mmol) of potassium hydroxide in 1 mL of methanol was added to a warm mixture of 0.184 g (2.65 mmol) of the hydrochloride salt of hydroxylamine. After cooling in ice under an argon atmosphere the potassium chloride was filtered off and 0.5 g (1.32 mmol) of (4A) was added to the filtrate. The resulting mixture was stirred for 7 hr at room temperature and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was suspended in 100 mL of ethyl acetate and washed with 10 mL of 10% potassium bisulfate, saturated sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate to give 0.28 g (56% yield) of pure 5A.,

To synthesize the compounds containing acylated forms of the indolyl residue, the intermediate ester of formula 3 or 4 is deesterified and acylated prior to conversion to the hydroxamate.

The solid was dissolved in a 1:1 mixture of hot ethyl acetate:hexane, which upon standing at room temperature gave 71 mg (66% yield) of solid product 37A: mp=184�-186� C.; Rf (G)=0.68.
To 30.5 mg (0.25 mmol) of benzoic acid in 1 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added 40.5 mg (0.25 mmol) of carbonyldiimidazole. After 10 minutes, 97 mg (0.25 mmol) of compound 5A from Example 1 was added in 1 ml of dimethylformamide. After 10 minutes, the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness under high vacuum, and dissolved in a mixture of equal volumes of ethyl acetate and water. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate, water, 2% sodium bisulfate, water, and brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the ethyl acetate layer to a small volume gave 50 mg (41%) of the title compound, 38A: mp=187�-187.5� C.; Fr(G)=0.54.

Inhibitors were assayed against crude or purified human skin fibroblast collagenase using the synthetic thiol ester substrate at pH 6.5 exactly as described by Kortylewicz & Galardy, J Med Chem (1990) 33:263-273. The collagenase concentration was 1-2 nM. The compounds of Examples 1-18 are tested for their ability to inhibit crude collagenase and gelatinase from human skin fibroblasts, crude collagenase and gelatinase from purulent human sputum in this assay. The results with respect to crude enzyme preparation are shown in Table 1. The Ki of 5A for purified human skin collagenase is 0.4 nM. Assays for inhibition of human stromelysin are conducted as described by Teahan, J., et al., Biochemistry (1989) 20:8497-8501.

The ability of the invention compounds to prevent ulceration has been confirmed by a corneal assay conducted by Gregory Schultz, University of Florida, Gainesville, Fla.
Twenty rabbit eyes were burned for 60 seconds with 1 N NaOH to a diameter of 10 mm. The ten control eyes were treated with two drops of hypotonic buffer every two hours from 8 AM to 6 PM, and then with a subconjunctival injection of 0.5 mL of buffer in the evening. The experimental eyes were treated identically but with 400 μg per mL inhibitor in buffer. Eyes were scored clinically with 0 being no ulceration and 5 equalling perforation of the cornea. FIG. 1 shows average clinical score over 26 days. The compound 5A shows marked protection of the cornea from perforation. FIG. 2 shows percent of corneas not perforated over 26 days; compound 5A shows 100% protection.
A histological examination of the treated and untreated corneas showed the following:
Perpendicular sections though the corneas of rabbits were examined 28 days following severe alkali injuries which were made by exposing the corneas of anesthetized rabbits to 2 N sodium hydroxide for 60 seconds in a 12.5 mm diameter well. Following injury, rabbits were treated topically with 2 drops every other hour between 8 AM and 6 PM followed by a subconjunctival injection of 0.5 mL of collagenase inhibitor of formula 5A or vehicle (50 mM Hepes, Antibiotics).
The cornea of a rabbit treated with collagenase inhibitor shows lamellae that have begun to repopulate with keratocytes which have most likely migrated from the uninjured peripheral cornea and sclera. The stroma also contains some inflammatory cells presumably macrophages which have migrated into the injured cornea. There is little evidence for disruption of the extracellular matrix of the stromal lamellae and there is no evidence of significant extracellular matrix destruction. The epithelium in this section has resurfaced the cornea, although the epithelium is tenuously attached as evidenced by the separation of the sections of the epithelium from the underlying stroma. There is no evidence of neovascularization of this part of the cornea. The endothelial surface has not regenerated and Descemet's membrane has separated from the stroma in a cloudy cornea which lacks persistent and complete epithelial regeneration and also lacks significant stromal ulceration.
Cornea treated only with vehicle shows a dominant appearance of extensive degradation of the stromal matrix and the presence of massive inflammatory cell infiltrates. These inflammatory cells most probably are macrophages and neutrophils. The stromal lamellae have digested in this section approximately two-thirds of the complete depth of the stroma, and in adjacent sections, erosion has occurred to Descemet's membrane. The stroma appears to have a frayed appearance at the edge where the inflammatory cell infiltration is most extensive. Fracture lines running through the stroma suggest a general weakening of the extracellular matrix. In this section of the cornea there is no evidence of neovascularization, epithelial cells, or endothelial cells. Fragments of endothelial cells are present on Descemet's membrane together with inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber fluid. Few if any keratocytes can be identified in the stroma. This microscopic section is generally consistent with the results of slit lamp microscopy which indicated that the cornea had extensive ulceration and peripheral neovascularization.
Overall, the histopathology of these two sections suggest that a major effect of the collagenase inhibitor in preventing ulceration is due to a reduction in the inflammatory cell filtration into the alkali injured cornea. Furthermore, this section suggests that repopulation of the stroma in the collagenase inhibitor treated corneas has begun and incomplete epithelial regeneration of a transient nature has begun on the epithelial surface with no regeneration of the endothelium.

Lou Charnon- Deutsch
Frank Melville, Jr. Memorial Library N3018, (631) 632-6031
Lou Charnon-Deutsch's earliest training was in the School of Chicago Criticism that strongly influenced her first book, a structuralist study of the artistic short story of 19th century Spain. By the mid-eighties, however, she broadened her interests to include applied feminist theory and psychoanalytic theory. Her following two books examined issues of gender and representation in well-known 19th century male-authored texts, and in the fiction of both canonical and non-canonical women writers. More recently, she has been working on systems of representation in popular Spanish culture, especially the illustrated Spanish periodicals that are the subject of her most recent book, Hold That Pose. At present she is working on the topic of conspiracy theories in nineteenth-century European fiction. She has served as President of Feministas Unidas (1992-1994). At Stony Brook, she is an affiliate of Women's Studies and of Comparative Literature.

Because String and StringBuilder (or StringBuffer) are designed for different purposes, I can understand the reasons for half of the difference (such as String does not have
append and
delete). However, there are a few points still confusing me.
To name a few:
- String has both
getCharsbut StringBuilder has only
- String and StringBuilder have
replaceof different functionality respectively.
- String has
toUpperCase, whereas StringBuilder does not.
- String has
trim, whereas StringBuilder does not.
I know they are by design, but why?

I think this is an attractive idea, and I would agree to such dual licensi= ng schemes. They can work well (Trolltech is an example).

If there was one word to describe the launch of NVIDIA's Pascal generation products, it's "expedient." On the consumer side of the business the company has launched 3 different GeForce cards and announced a fourth (Titan X), while on the HPC side the company has already launched their Tesla P100 accelerator, with the PCIe version due next quarter. With the company moving so quickly it was only a matter of time until a Quadro update was announced, and now today at SIGGRAPH 2016 the company is doing just that. Being announced today are the two Quadro models that will fill out the high-end of the Quadro family, the P6000 and P5000. As hinted at by the name, these are based on NVIDIA's latest Pascal generation...

Compaq Presario F700 won't turn on...
My girlfriends laptop won't turn on. I've tried removing power cord, battery, and holding the button for 30 seconds. I even bought new RAM and installed it. It booted up, but the second I turned it off and tried to turn it back on again, nothing. The power cord works in other laptops, and the comp lights up when the cord is in. I also cleaned the fan. Any ideas?
Re: Compaq Presario F700 won't turn on...
Take the Hard Drive out and turn the notebook on and start tapping F10. If the notebook starts the Hard Drive is bad.
Let me know if it does.
